CEO. MEDIACLOUD. Oracle DAT A Sheet . KEY FEATURES By leveraging this integrated platform, administrators are free to focus on addressing The embedded controller software strategic needs and delivering business agility, rather than investing valuable resources automates hardware and software on integrating and managing infrastructure. deployment Integrates with Oracle Enterprise Manager for unified IT as a service Automatic Power Up, Installation, and Configuration Cloud management With Oracle Private Cloud Appliance , users need only to move the rack into place, Oracle VM included at no added cost connect power, network, and storage cables, and power on the system to get going.

4 Support for Oracle VM Templates The embedded controller software automatically powers up, installs, and configures the enables deployment of applications in hardware and software environment. Within minutes, the system is ready, and users hours, not days can add VMs by using standard Oracle VM Templates or by creating them from scratch. Trusted Partitioning enables efficient database software licensing By default, all Oracle software that has been certified for use with Oracle VM is certified The wire-once design reduces for the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance , which includes the Oracle Database, Oracle operational complexity Fusion Middleware, Oracle Applications, and Oracle Real Application Clusters. Single vendor support for full hardware and software stack Oracle Private Cloud Appliance offers exceptional value in the following areas: Accelerate time to value. Oracle Private Cloud Appliance speeds up deployment of KEY BUSINESS BENEFIT S.

5 The full hardware-to-applications stack, so you can get applications to users within Achieve faster time to market by hours, not days or weeks. deploying applications faster Reduce complexity with a wire-once converged infrastructure. This solution leverages Save hundreds of hours of installation and configuration time a software-defined network fabric, allowing installation and configuration of servers and storage to be accomplished through software. No more physical re-cabling to Reduce ongoing software licensing reconfigure your environment. and support costs Reduced total cost of ownership: For one price, you can get all hardware and Simplify management by software needed, including virtualization software. In addition, Trusted Partitioning consolidating mixed workloads on enables efficient database software licensing, so you only pay for the cores you use one system and not for the full system capacity.

6 Easily manage Cloud services with Lower risk with one easy-to-deploy and easy-to-manage system that is preconfigured Oracle Enterprise Manager to reduce configuration errors. Protect investments by scaling Protect your investments by scaling linearly over time to meet performance demands compute easily, one node at a time and business growth. The solution also integrates into existing data centers with support for the operating systems and storage you use today. Easily Build and Manage Cloud Services with Oracle Enterprise Manager By adding Oracle Enterprise Manager to your Oracle Private Cloud Appliance deployment, you can quickly build and manage a Private Cloud within your data center and offer services like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Database as a Service (DBaaS). Oracle Enterprise Manager enables business users and developers to get rapid and self-service access to Cloud services while allowing Cloud administrators to centralize governance.

7 Both self-service users and administrators can access usage data and create chargeback reports to assess the service consumption. Oracle Enterprise Manager makes it possible to manage all Oracle Private Cloud appliances from a single dashboard. Efficient and Flexible Infrastructure Supports Agility Virtual machines on Oracle Private Cloud Appliance are considered Trusted Partitions;. hence software may be licensed at the virtual machine level instead of the physical processor level. Therefore, customers have the flexibility to license Oracle software 2 | Oracle Private Cloud Appliance . Oracle DAT A Sheet . based on what they use, and not on the system's total capacity, enabling efficient software licensing. In addition to Trusted Partitioning support, Oracle Private Cloud Appliance provides flexible scalability. Customers can scale compute one node at a time to a maximum of 25 compute nodes in a rackThis flexibility allows customer to spin up compute resources quickly to accommodate growth.

8 Key Software Components The following software, included with the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance , enable scalability, software-defined virtual networking, and GUI-based management: Oracle VM Server: Oracle VM server virtualization is designed to be highly scalable and built to enable rapid application deployment. Oracle VM supports up to 128 vCPUs and a variety of guests such as Linux, Oracle Solaris, and Microsoft Windows. Entire Oracle application stacks such as Oracle Database and Oracle enterprise applications can be deployed in minutes to hours using Oracle VM Templates. The ability to quickly and easily deploy applications to a highly scalable virtualized environment enables IT to meet SLAs and reduce time to market for the business. Oracle SDN software: Oracle SDN dynamically connects servers to networks and storage. It eliminates the physical storage and networking cards found in every server and replaces them with virtual network interface cards (vNICs) and virtual host bus adapters (vHBAs) that can be deployed on the fly.

9 Oracle Virtual Networking simplifies complex data center deployments with a wire-once solution and simple software-defined network configurations. Oracle Private Cloud Appliance controller software: The controller software allows users to manage and monitor the systems hardware, perform software upgrades, create and manage virtual resources (virtual servers, virtual networks, and storage), and monitor utilization of all system resources in real-time. The controller software runs on two dedicated management nodes that are configured for high availability with automatic failover in the event of a failure. It is accessible via a GUI dashboard. Key Hardware Components Compute Nodes: Compute nodes include Oracle Server X7-2 systems powered by two Intel Xeon Processor with 24 cores per socket. The X7-2 compute nodes can be ordered in three different memory configurations 384GB, 768GB and TB.

10 With more than 35% percent increase in processing power versus the previous generation, Oracle Server X7-2 provides the optimal balance of cores, memory, and I/O throughput for enterprise applications. Each compute node runs Oracle VM Server for x86 to provide server virtualization. Compute nodes may be added or removed from the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance configurations without any downtime. A PCA rack can support a maximum of 25. compute nodes. The Oracle PCA supports mixing of all generations of PCA compute nodes - Oracle Server X7-2, X6-2, X5-2, X4-2 and X3-2. Virtual Networking: Oracle Private Cloud Appliance uses ultra-high performance Oracle Fabric Interconnect, a component of the Oracle Virtual Networking family.
